In this book we have a collection of amazing artist. There are so many fabulous stories that I want to tell you about them all but so that it doesn't take up multiple pages I will just tell you about one.

My review is of Sin on a Stick by Jenna Jacob. This is a fabulous short story about Jade Hollis and Colton Maddox. Colton was always the boy that Jade had wanted from since she saw him in high school. However he seemed to be focused on every woman but her. After another failed relationship she feels like it is time for a new start. However when she starts out she finds the town that she remembers Colton saying he was going to. She thinks why not go see her old friend and put some things to rest to move on with her life. Can she move on or will she find something amazing?

Colton is shocked to see his old best friend come into town but he knows there are so many unanswered questions. He refuses to let her leave until he too gets the answers to the questions that he has. However he wonders will history repeat it's self or will he finally have the woman of his dreams?

This is an amazing short story about finding love and being willing to open up to the possible hurt that comes with it. Neither of them have opened up about their true feelings for fear of loosing that one person that really gets you. There is so much I want to tell you about this book but don't want to ruin it for anyone else. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.

In this book we meet McKenzie, Patrick, and Christopher. When this book opens up McKenzie is the new girl at KPS. Little does she know that the big bad wolf has set his sites on her. She is both embarrassed and flattered when Christopher one of the owners speaks with her before she has even made it into the building. However she learns pretty quickly that there may be a reason why he did this and it had everything to do with her being the new girl. All she is looking for is to work in a new job that she likes. Can she do that and find something special at KPS as well?

Christopher knows he is a player. He also knows that Patrick is really the brains behind their company but he feels like it is his duties to get him to loosen up. Patrick just wants to know Christopher is as involved in this company as he is. He knows without Christopher's marketing skills they would never be where they are at now. That being said he wishes he wouldn't be with all the new female employees and that he would look at more than their bodies. Both are willing to have a good time when they can but Patrick never has any expectations that a woman will choose him when Christopher is an option. Can they find a way to work together even when one of them is always disappointed?

This is a a great short story about finding love and not giving up the first time it is tested. All of them are looking for that person that can make their life whole. There are some twists in the story that I really want to tell you all about but I don't want to ruin the story for anyone else. I will say this is an amazing story that I would highly recommend.

This is a very short book that is packed full of wow factor. I want to tell you all that happens but I don't want to ruin it for anyone else. I will say that this is an amazing book that I would recommend to anyone and everyone

Claire Fortune arrives in Boston with an old notebook and her best friend’s dying wish – to finish the scribbled bucket list that Hope didn’t have time to complete. Moment by moment, Claire builds a life she never dreamed of – until Theo walks into the coffee-shop one crisp September afternoon, and her careful plans scatter on the winds.

Sometimes a chance meeting can change a life forever.

Sometimes fate knows exactly what we need.

Perfect for fans of ‘Me Before You’ and ‘The Fault in Our Stars’, ‘The Promise’ brings together two people searching for a love that can overcome tragedy. A heartbreakingly romantic novel that challenges us to live – and love - every day as if it were our last.

2 I spent my childhood with my nose in a book before deciding to try and write one myself. I love all kinds of genres – from thrillers to YA and mystery – but romance has always been a passion of mine.

**This WILD Boys novella was originally part of the ONE NIGHT IN VEGAS limited release box set**

White lace and promises…

Jen Thorne is more than ready to help her best friend tie the knot, sumptuous Vegas style—until she shows up at the rehearsal and catches sight of a surprise guest to the festivities. Sam Mackenna, a Scottish RAF pilot on loan to the Air Force for cross-training, has been the object of her secret erotic fantasies for months. But even with romance in the air, a hunk like him is hardly likely to choose a geek like her.

A kiss for luck…

When Sam and she are unexpectedly alone, the gray-eyed warrior entices Jen to share her deepest fantasies—then throws the wildest card of all into the mix. He wants to the chance to make as many of them come true before dawn’s light.

One night. The man of her dreams. A wild card worth playing, or an invitation to the biggest disaster of them all…

USA Today bestselling romance author Angel Payne has been reading and writing her entire life, though her love for romances began in junior high, when writing with friends on "swap stories" they'd trade between classes. Needless to say, those stories involved lots of angst, groping, drama, and gooey kissing.

She began getting a paycheck for her writing in her twenties, writing record reviews for a Beverly Hills-based dance music magazine. Some years, various entertainment industry gigs, and a number of years in the hospitality industry later, Angel returned to the thing she loves the most: creating character-based romantic fiction. Along the way, she also graduated with two degrees from Chapman University in Southern California, taking departmental honors for English, before writing five historical romances for Kensington and Bantam/Doubleday/Dell.

Angel found a true home in writing contemporary-based romances that feature high heat and high concepts, focusing on memorable alpha men and the women who tame them. She has numerous book series to her credit, including the Kinky Truth series, the Secrets of Stone series (with Victoria Blue), the W.I.L.D. Boys of Special Forces series, and the acclaimedCimarron series. Temptation Court, a new series being launched through the Dark Nights Discovery project, debuts in 2016.

Angel still lives in Southern California, where she is married to her soul mate and lives on a street that looks like Brigadoon, with their awesome daughter and Lady Claire, the dog with impeccable manners. When not writing, she enjoys reading, pop culture, alt rock, cute shoes, enjoying the outdoors, and being a gym rat.

Security company owner Rahl Vendetti returned from Afghanistan with his own issues, including a vicious monster doing its best to inflict devastation on all of his relationships.

They have plenty of chemistry, but do they have the ability to be what the other needs outside of the bedroom, too? Sage may be the angel to bring out the gentle giant in Rahl, but can he be the strength she needs to face her uncertain future? Will they save each other and create something unexpected?

Approaching me, he slowly ran his warm hands up and down my arms, which only made me shiver again, but for a different reason. I closed my eyes and planted my forehead into his chest. He was a fireplace in the zero degree air. Without questioning, I snuggled into his warmth.

“I don’t think you understand what being part of my life long-term means. It’s constant worry that the cancer is back and when it does come back it will affect everything. Relationships, schedules, and finances.” I cringed and lowered my voice, “And sex.” I gazed into his soft brown eyes, deep pools of care that made me waver when it came to him and me. I stepped back to get space and perspective. “Lots of things become secondary to fighting a monster that is unpredictable and merciless. I … I can’t…” I turned but he slipped his hands into mine, stopping me.

Fuzzy sock collector, martini connoisseur, baseball fanatic, and dandelion lover, author Jules Dixon is her own oxymoron. She’s addicted to everything related to the amazing emotion of love, probably instigated by her own happily ever after 25 years with her beer-brewing hubby and their love story created a sassy, artistic daughter and a computer genius but ultra-sarcastic son. She explores the rich psychology of sexuality, choices, and conflicts of high school, college, and young adult characters in her novels and novellas. She’s a busy writer, but she loves it.

Fresh off the heels of yet another bad relationship, Tristan Brewer is taking a
break from men to try and figure out where he keeps going wrong. He knows his
biggest fault--he leads with his heart, not his head--and that's never going to
change. But after several introspective weeks, he's beginning to get a handle
on things. That is, until badass heartthrob Alex Wells walks into his bar...

Alex has spent eight years in the Army, months in a hospital bed, and far too
long hiding his sexual identity. He's guilt-ridden, damaged, pissed off, and up
for a Silver Star--for the incident that nearly cost him his life, and kept him
from his grandmother's funeral. But all he wants to do is forget his stint with
the institution that allows but doesn't necessarily accept, and live the life
he's always dreamed of.

The chemistry between Tristan and Alex ignites from the moment they meet, and the
more time they spend together the hotter the flames become. But the closer
Tristan gets, the more Alex's walls go up, and when the two walk onto a
military base, Tristan finds out Alex's physical scars aren't the ones that run
the deepest.

We step forward at the same
time, and he presses his rough hand to my cheek. “I don’t know what kind of
pussies you went out with before, but I wanted to fucking claim you in there.”

He slides a hand around my waist, tugging our bodies together. I feel every
hard inch of him, and he’s got me so hot I’m sure we’re going to combust.

“I’ve spent almost nine years hiding who I am, and I’m not willing to do it
anymore,” he says through clenched teeth. “Not here, where I came to start
over. Where I came to live on my terms without the goddamn military hanging
over my head.”

“I have no interest in hiding,” I assure him.

“You’re sure? Because I really want to kiss you right now, and I don’t care who
sees us.”

I respond by pulling his mouth to mine, my break from men long forgotten. We
stumble backward, crashing into the railing, fighting for dominance as we did
yesterday morning. The passion between us has a life of its own. My hands claw
over his ass, up his back. I want to strip him down and take all of him. I want
to discover why he’s so rough and learn what about those shadows that are
lurking behind his gorgeous eyes. Instead I take, and give, and take more of
the angry kisses. When we finally tear our mouths apart, my body’s still
reeling, and we both curse under our breaths.

“Okay?” he pants out.

I nod, knowing if I open my mouth, I want to fuck you, is going to
come out.

Excerpt #2

“Can I ask you something?
You don’t have to answer.”

Tristan shrugs. “Have at it.”

“Why were you taking a break? I get that your ex was a prick, but is there more
to it?”

He looks down the street, across the street, and then his hand cruises through
his hair as it has so often that I’ve already come to expect it when he’s
nervous.

“Ian was a prick, but the rest is going to make me sound like a pussy,” he
admits.

“I’ve only known you a day, and I already know nothing can make you sound like
a pussy.”

He meets my gaze, and his jaw tightens. He lifts his chin and I recognize the
struggle between feeling proud and worrying about looking weak. I fight that
battle on a daily basis.

“I give away my heart too easily, and I end up getting hurt.”

His eyes never leave mine, and that trust, that confidence, is the sexiest
thing I’ve ever seen.

“I was right. Nothing can make you sound like a pussy.” I slide my hand to the
hard ridge of his jaw and lean in closer. “I’ve never given my heart away. That
makes you braver than me.”

Being the king of The Devil’s Dust and surrounded by easy women was his everyday… until having his heart broke rooted him to the bottom of a whiskey bottle.

Heartbroken, and drowning in lost memories he’s unsure of the direction of his life, when the answer – consisting of a terrified Mexican girl- nearly knocks him off his feet.

Determined to get his act together and rectify his club, he rides to Texas for answers, only to be confronted with the emotional ghosts he isn’t ready to deal with.

He sees Anahi, and he wants her.

But she may come with more baggage than Bull is ready for.

Anahi used to be prim and proper. She used to wear dresses and keep up appearances to impress people she didn’t know. I guess you could say she was a fucking lady.

But that was when she lived in Mexico with her parents.

Before her uncle turned on her.

Before, the only man she ever loved, her step-brother, betrayed her.

Before she was forced to be a drug mule for the Cartel.

Evening gowns a lost memory, expensive heels traded for boots, and a nine millimeter in her hand instead of a limited edition purse. Anahi sets aside everything she’s ever known including the fairytale stories her mother told her about America.

M.N. Forgy was raised in Missouri where she still lives with her family. She's a soccer mom by day and a saucy writer by night. M.N. Forgy started writing at a young age but never took it seriously until years later, as a stay-at-home mom, she opened her laptop and started writing again. As a role model for her children, she felt she couldn't live with the "what if" anymore and finally took a chance on her character's story. So, with her glass of wine in hand and a stray Barbie sharing her seat, she continues to create and please her fans.
